Yes, but those sneaky people make the threads so that only their gallon jars fit the lids. Regular gallon jars do not.
I buy the bare units and stoppers for carboys or, drill a hole and use a grommet as it appears you have done.
Woke up craving beef today. The coals are started, big russets are baking and a few strips of bacon are ready to be chopped to "bits"

I bought a slicer hoping it would allow me to cut uniform slices of bread from large home baked "boule" loaves. To make spiffy panini sandwiches and the like.
Unfortunately it wouldn't cut a 15mm thick slice, nor would it accommodate a 300mm "long" piece of material-to-be-sliced. (loaf diameter is 300mm). The horizontal "throw" of the sled holding the material-to-be-sliced was too short, and the portion of a slice-in-progress that had been cut would slam into the substructure holding the blade.

That's too bad Mark. I agree about the size of the sled. I also struggle with the amount of meat left on the sled as the retainer spikes prevent it from cutting anymore. Now I know why the delis have ends on sale all the time.
Have you tried an electric carving knife for your bread? You can always get a bread slicing jig if you need uniform slices. You might need to make it yourself for loaves like that though.

This one might work.

Mark J., not sure how often you check in here but I have learned some things about the new slicer that are not in the owners manual.
First pic is the seeming lack of room on the sled.
Second is the area on the feeder slide that allows you to open the 'grabber' all the way, including locking it out of the way so you have full access to the sled plate. This only happens at a certain part of the grabber slide. Not if it's close to the back panel.
Third is the spikes on the bottom of the grabber that gave me a clue to what is not explained in the owners manual.

I have just reread your post and better understand. I have just explained something that doesn't apply to your problem.
At least I helped my own problem. 🙂

Eye of round on sale today.
Dressed and seasoned, now serving time in the food dungeon.
Not sure, it could simply sit for two weeks and then dry cure for a couple months, or...
...leave for a day, then immersion cook and use as sandwich meat, thinly sliced deli style.
What would you do?
